ZAGREB, Jan 10 (Hina) - The latest Presidential Statement on
Croatia of the U.N. Security Council is the main topic of a
commentary piece by journalist Aleksandar Milosevic published in
today's issue of the Croatian daily 'VJESNIK'. Milosevic calls the
statement 'one of the most harsh documents directed against Croatia
since the proclamation of its independence'. He recalls that the
statement was based on a report by the U.N. Secretary General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali on human rights and civil freedoms in Croatia
after the military and police action 'Storm' and analyses certain
parts of the statement: " If one analyses carefully the content of
the Presidential Statement, one can see that it largely
concentrates on the facts on which Croatia has already voiced its
opinion, taken its stance and started mechanisms for the solution
of those questions'. #L#
The U.N. Security Council document should serve its creators
as an additional means of pressure against Croatia, Milosevic
writes.
'The U.N. Secretary General obviously cannot accept Croatia's
status as an independent international legal subject. However, the
intensified pressure against Croatia could return as a boomerang to
East River'.
'The Presidential Statement, adopted on Monday, is a document
which not only takes as its starting points wrongly judged and
established facts, but also represents an outrageous invasion of
inalienable rights of each state to protect itself with legal means
and regulate relations within its internationally recognized
borders', Milosevic says and concludes: 'One should believe that
such pressure against Croatia would cease, once it becomes clear
that such a policy does not yield any results'.
